Bring an Old World Feel to Your Home, October 26, 2005
This review is from: Extraordinary Interiors: Decorating with Architectural Salvage & Antiques (Hardcover)
I discovered this book after reading a very favorable review in the Orlando Sentinel. The book shows salvaged items used in "elegant rooms to funky apartments, with practical ideas and whimsical inspiration."
You just don't find pieces like an antique Indian swing or Syro-Turkish wall panels at the local Home Depot. The book shows rooms with salvaged items like an ornate painted mirror or bistro lamps from Paris. Saving these items from demolished buildings preserves the past and adds character to new homes.
Anyone who loves home decorating will enjoy browsing this book and the inspiring rooms in it.

Extraordinary Interiors: Decorating with Architectural Salvage & Antiques, June 27, 2009
This review is from: Extraordinary Interiors: Decorating with Architectural Salvage & Antiques (Hardcover)
Lovely photos for interior decoration but not really architectural salvage as promised in the title. The best is the cover photo which has nothing to do with architectural salvage and was an entire room just purchased at auction as is. This is more of what you'd find in a glossy magazine - If you're looking for architectural salvage ideas there are a FEW, but
you won't find much here.
